If you mean a monk then I think it's not so hard. Just use monk class not
fighter to start, considering races I'd suggest Minotaur (fast fighting and
unarmed learning, extra headbutt damage) or Troll (very strong and robust,
extra damage from claws, good healing rate, drawback - not much armor to
wear). Okawaru is the best choice for a monk IMO. Makhleb with his summoned
demons seems nice also.

Anyway a Deep elf wizard or elementalist is easier to win IMO. First you
worship SifMuna, when you have a lot of books and "Selective Amnesia"
change to Vehumet. Kill everything fast and from distance, safer than monk.
Not bad choice is Air Elementalist as at beginning it can levitate and cast
Quickness? which outspeeds most creatures in running away. The problem with
him is to get a nice Air magic offensive spell better than Shock. Airstrike
is not very effective, Lightning Bolt is costly when comparing to Ice or
Fire Bolt. Best is to go into Fire or Ice.
